The Flyers were outplayed for most of the game, but still earned a point. A Jakub Voracek shot was deflected in front by Brayden Schenn for his second goal of the game, tying the game up with just under a minute to play.

The scoreboard shows a close-fought 3-2 victory for the Jackets, but the numbers tell a different story.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good - so long as you don't make it a habit. But after three straight games of it - including Tuesday night against the Blue Jackets - it's certainly turned into one.

Brayden Schenn's goal with 56 seconds left on a deflection just barely made it over the line. It took a review, but eventually, the goal counted and got the Flyers another point.

Four points in three games is a step in the right direction. But until the third, the Flyers were heavily out-played by a team below them in the standings.

A point was left on the ice in Columbus. The Flyers knew that. What they also knew was that they were lucky to get any points at all.

A matter of inches helped the Flyers salvage another point. And another odd-man-rush foiled the Flyers chance for the second.

A goal by Brayden Schenn in the final minute of regulation just barely trickled over the line to force overtime.

But in the extra session, the Flyers chances were thwarted by Sergei Bobrovsky before Kevin Connauton finished a 2-on-1 with a goal to give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 3-2 win over the Flyers on Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena.
